Bug Description

If a project's Bugs page included a list of the most-subscribed-to bug reports, that might decrease the number of duplicates reported.

See also bug 125818.

[Originally suggested by Corey Burger.]

-- users filing bugs, particularly in Ubuntu, only see the bug filing workflow, so we should show it there, perhaps as part of the search results for possibly existing bugs.

I am tempted to mark this as invalid because we want bug heat to incorporate this, and there already is a sorting by affected users. Neither is in the UI now and I do not think the sorting option is effective.

Marking duplicates should (will soon I believe) incorporated affected users; this also affects heat, so sorting by heat or affected users would be a good heuristic for this use case. However the bugs home page isn't the right place - the bug filing workflow is the right place for this IMO.
